Count It Up
Young Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You already know the deal
You niggas know what I dealt, let just be for real
And while you at it young you just keep your artist still
And peel the rap off the blocks like a banana peel
Tell me can ya see the flake, one glance of that glitter make ya wanna shake
Adrenaline, rushing blood flowing through your veins
'cause nigga I was seeing things
At least a hundred at a time, and that's on everything
Magic city one-twelve, let me reminisce
A nigga must-a miss something how did it come to this
You got niggas runnin' round like they run the town
Dope game, game over, jizzle's on the map
Now watch me cock it right back and hit a home run
Enough bricks at one time to build a home, son.
They like god damn young, boy, you on one
Everybody talkin' bricks but they don't own none
What ya niggas know about counting millions
The only place there ain't money is on the ceilin'
[Chorus:]
Now count it up, count it up, count it up, count it up
Take it all out your pocket, count it up, count it up
Now count it up, count it up, count it up, count it up
Pull it all out your pocket count it up, count it up
I'm goin' in, fuck it, I'm goin' in
I was just about to check up the top let's begin,
Let the room start to fill up with smoke no inhalin',
I turn it forward into a nine I'll be in heaven,
You leave here and get caught with this nine I'll be a felon,
I ain't the one for doing no time just know I'm bellin'
The government don't really approve of what I'm selling,
Get jammed up we all know the rules, there's no tellin'
Even though I came to bring you the word, I'm no reverend
Just a casualty in the game more like a veteran
Ask me do I no treat babes and them cookies
Got fifteen hundred and dimes when we was rookies
And tell me how I go up to at least thirty (?)
Just one for the niggas out here, doing they thing
Every day riskin it all deep in the game
Ain't about to ask a nigga for shit, I feel the same
They like god damn young, boy, you on one
Everybody talkin' bricks but they don't own none
What ya niggas know about counting millions
The only place there ain't money is on the ceilin'
[Chorus:]
Now count it up, count it up, count it up, count it up,
Take it all out your pocket , count it up, count it up
Now count it up, count it up, count it up, count it up,
Pull it all out your pocket count it up, count it up

Line by Line Meaning
You already know the deal
You're familiar with the situation
You niggas know what I dealt, let just be for real
You guys know what I've been through, let's be honest
And while you at it young you just keep your artist still
While you're doing something, make sure your people are doing nothing
And peel the rap off the blocks like a banana peel
Take the music out to the streets like a banana peel being peeled
Tell me can ya see the flake, one glance of that glitter make ya wanna shake
Can you see the cocaine, just looking at it will make you feel the effect
Adrenaline, rushing blood flowing through your veins
The sensation of excitement or fear you feel inside
When you close your eyes at night do you be seeing things
Do you have hallucinations when you sleep
'cause nigga I was seeing things
Because I used to have vivid dreaming experiences
At least a hundred at a time, and that's on everything
I was seeing at least a hundred dollar bills at a time in my dreams
Magic city one-twelve, let me reminisce
Thinking back to when I used to go to Magic City strip club in Atlanta
A nigga must-a miss something how did it come to this
I must have missed something, how did I become so successful
You got niggas runnin' round like they run the town
You have people acting like they run everything, but they don't
Dope game, game over, jizzle's on the map
The drug dealing game is over, Young Jeezy has made it to the top
Now watch me cock it right back and hit a home run
Watch me take a shot and succeed greatly
Enough bricks at one time to build a home, son
I have enough drugs at one time to build a house, son
They like god damn young, boy, you on one
People are amazed by how successful I am
Everybody talkin' bricks but they don't own none
People talk about selling drugs, but they don't actually have any
What ya niggas know about counting millions
What do you guys know about having millions of dollars
The only place there ain't money is on the ceilin'
The only place there's no money is on the ceiling, everywhere else there's money
I'm goin' in, fuck it, I'm goin' in
I'm going all in, I don't care
I was just about to check up the top let's begin
I was just about to reach the top, let's start
Let the room start to fill up with smoke no inhalin'
Let the smoke fill the room, but don't inhale it
I turn it forward into a nine I'll be in heaven
Turning my life around, makes me feel like I'll be in heaven
You leave here and get caught with this nine I'll be a felon
If you get caught with my gun, I will be considered a felon
I ain't the one for doing no time just know I'm bellin'
I don't want to go to jail, you should know that
The government don't really approve of what I'm selling
The government doesn't like that I'm selling drugs
Get jammed up we all know the rules, there's no tellin'
If you get caught by the police, we all know how these things work, nobody is talking
Even though I came to bring you the word, I'm no reverend
Even though I came to tell you something, I'm not preaching like a reverend
Just a casualty in the game more like a veteran
Just someone who got caught up in the drug dealing game, but also has a lot of experience
Ask me do I no treat babes and them cookies
Ask me if I'm good at treating girls and getting them drugs
Got fifteen hundred and dimes when we was rookies
When we were new at this, we only had fifteen hundred dollars and some drugs
And tell me how I go up to at least thirty
And look at me now, I have at least thirty million dollars
Just one for the niggas out here, doing they thing
This one is for all the guys out there, hustling and trying to make a living
Every day riskin' it all deep in the game
Every day, we are taking big risks in the drug game
Ain't about to ask a nigga for shit, I feel the same
I'm not about to ask anyone for anything, because I feel the same way
Now count it up, count it up, count it up, count it up
Now let's count our money
Take it all out your pocket, count it up, count it up
Take all the money out of your pocket and let's count it
Pull it all out your pocket count it up, count it up
Take all your money out of your pocket and let's count it
